I guess I don't understand why people think I'm much older than what I am?
I had been pondering this question myself recently, I realized that it may be a few minor things, a few bigger more inherent things;
a) your screenname prefix of 'Mr.' and your internet persona, the WAYWT images - the 'Mr.' just kinda leads one to believe you may be older
b) your choices in clothes definitely transcend your age. You have some nice clothes.... but they're not typically made for 28 year olds, and you can admit that too I think. I mean, you got a lot of MC footwear things, your general look is business casual, sometimes psycho-business casual. A lot of it has a vintage or dandy flair to it, as if you're drawn to that - tri-tone boots, for example, repro denim, that Goodwear leather jacket, you carry a briefcase sometimes, I mean this is not how people perceive 28 year olds usually.
It's actually a problem in America, IMO - for a very long time, and I guess even still to some extent, there was little to no guidance in the way of 'age-appropriate' clothing and styles, people just kinda guessed at it, +/- 20 years... I mean the opposite to that is the way the Japanese categorize their fashion magazine clientele, and even stores here do the same. There's a Japanese magazine called 'SENSE' that you and many other styleforumer's would love probably - it originally catered to guys in their 20's, who were interested in midrange brands; later they merged SENSE with another old magazine for guys in their 40's who were interested in high end 'rock' and street influenced clothing (Chrome Hearts and MMJ, D&G, a lot of flashy things), and created a new version of SENSE that supposedly caters guys in both their 20's and 40's now - mid to high end casual clothing, dark colored, often black clothes, and they're right, it kinda works.
In America, you have GQ, other men's magazines - they're trying advise guys from the ages of 18 to like 65, so they're definitely veering on the side of conservative, since the older guys have more money to spend.
So yeah, I think your clothes are age inappropriate. They're nice pieces, they're just not really befitting a 28 year old. You should enjoy being 28, if you can, I guess. I am turning 30 on Sunday and I feel like I'm 15 years younger than you, every time you post.
c) I think if you blur your face so that you only see your glasses as you do in your WAYWT's, you look older. That and your figure - I keep placing you around 40 or so.
d) there's your house, you just bought that Lexus RX330, etc - 28 year olds typically don't do this kinda stuff man. You should be proud of your accomplishments, but most 28 year olds are just happy to make rent still. Edited by impolyt_one - 12/21/11 at 1:16am

Oh well I'm even much younger than Moo and own these stuff, does it mean I'm old?
In respect of my earlier post addressing whatever's comment, I will not note the reasons why you are just the latest in a long line of people to be shocked by how young moo is.
I haven't gotten a chance to sit down with it yet, but I'm hoping that the continuous delays didn't take some of the wind out of the sails with regards to the finished product. Speaking of the delays, my buddy from high school did a pretty in-depth interview with Jeezy recently in which Jeezy has sheds some light on why he was laying low for a lot of 2011.

Real deal Pendleton from a long ass time ago (50's - 60's based on what I can tell).
The rest of the fits got some . . . problems.
Can't say I like the coat, but I think your colourful enough without the turquoise hoodie, think it would look better with a more boring hoodie or without one.
